iLight , an art exhibit in Singapore, is the first and only sustainable light art festival which is displayed from March 9th to April 1st 2012 nightly. The art exhibits are sculptures ranging from recycled plastic soda bottles, to premiere LED walls. The eco-friendly exhibit is providing a gateway into the future to see where technology is meeting art. As we become more sustainable-focused as a society, as does our artwork, which allows us to be proud of the artwork created out of scraps. Featuring 30 exciting art exhibits, this year's theme is "Light Meets Asia". If you are around the Singapore area this spring, be sure to visit iLight for outdoor performances, late night picnics, guided light walking tours educational talks, workshops and more!
